Introducing Mackenzie, a dog whose journey through life has been a testament to strength and resilience. Found as a stray in Downey, Mackenzie's story began with adversity. Severely emaciated and battling illness, his future seemed uncertain. However, fate intervened when the shelter who impounded him reached out to our rescue for assistance.
Under our care, Mackenzie received the medical attention he desperately needed. Initially suspected to have cancer, it was a relief to discover that he was instead grappling with Duodenal reflux or GERD, conditions manageable with the right diet and medication. With this hurdle behind him, Mackenzie is now on the path to recovery.
Currently, Mackenzie is focused on regaining weight and opening up to the idea of finding his forever home. While he may appear reserved at first, his gentle demeanor shines through once he warms up to you. A treat or two is all it takes to capture his attention, and soon he'll be seeking you out with his warm gaze, eager for companionship.
Mackenzie is a curious soul, always observing his surroundings with a keen eye. He shows great potential for forming deep bonds with his future family, promising unwavering loyalty and companionship. Despite his past hardships, Mackenzie harbors no bitterness, displaying kindness towards both his canine companions and humans alike.
With a little patience and understanding, Mackenzie is poised to blossom into the perfect companion. His interactions with other dogs are harmonious, and his interactions with people are gentle and endearing. As he continues to flourish, Mackenzie's future holds the promise of love, warmth, and companionship for those willing to welcome him into their hearts and homes. Please inquire today!

More about this rescue
Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
